Can, 4.2%. Bready aroma with a very grassy, acidic note. Almost clear golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour has a floral hoppiness with a little citrus. Ok malty touch with some light caramel. Medium bitterness.

Rerate: July 2026. Pours clear deep gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is pale malt, herbal hop, honey notes. Taste is light to medium sweet. Medium bitter finish. Very decent Czech pilsner.

June 2017. 500ml green bottle from Bliznetsy in Moscow. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is skunky as hell, butter, hops. Taste is sweet, caramel, cardboard, moderate bitterness. Tastes a lot like a low-end Armenian lager (I’ m looking at you, Ararat Beer). Rather shite to be honest. // 6/2/3/4/2.5 = 3.1

Can picked up from Globus hypermarket Ceské Budêjovice and consumed at home Tuesday 30th June 2026, we had another simple tea, this time it's a Tortilla (we're trying to use things up) btw it was very good. We're watching the Mentalist on Netflix. Pours gold, there is a haziness to this, a mid sized off white head tops off the appearance. A faint aroma of hops and then some cereal also on the nose. The non alcoholic taint is there but it's not as in yer face as some of this style. There's a reasonable citrussyness and bitterness here which surprises me. Decent mouthfeel, I don't mind this, it's not great but they've done some things quite well and if they'd concentrated on those and dialled them up even more we could be talking about a good n/a beer. Score 6.0

Thin bod, med carbo. Very watery, with light-low sweet and bitter ness. Basically no malt or hops character, medium soapiness tho. Incredible how a beer this fresh can be this shit.
